Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Continue folding until fully combined and the mousse is a light pink color.
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Serve chilled, garnished with fresh strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
- For a twist, add a tablespoon of finely chopped mint leaves to the strawberry mixture for a refreshing flavor.
